Safe to do 'harder' work?
I have about 3.5 weeks left to go, and I'm wondering what kind of work might
be too much. There's like 300 feet of snow outside right now. Well, not quite that much, but I'd guess that there's probably about 6"-8" of snow on the sidewalks out front. I can't leave the front walks with tons of snow... I feel bad for the poor mail carrier and although I share the front (and back) walk with the neighbour, they seem to refuse to lift a shovel for the front OR back. I left the snow thinking maybe since I did the back walks they would maybe do the front, seeing as the neighbour has 2 teenaged children. Well, now there's tons of snow out there, and they need to be done. Is something like shoveling sidewalks alright to do? There's no way the sidewalks can be left and ignored for the next month or so. I can't send DS out there to do them as there's just too much for him. So, is something like shoveling sidewalks alright to do at this point in pregnancy? |

So, is something like shoveling sidewalks alright to do at this point in pregnancy? I think you've got to listen to your body, there isn't anything doomed to harm you in shovelling snow, but then plenty of non pregnant people will get a sore back after a hard session of work on something like that. Your risk of that is going to be higher in your current state than in was prepregnancy, but that could still be relatively low compared to a lot of people, or not, which is why you have to listen to your body.

Cheers Anne My body feels like it's completely falling apart and failing on me at any given day. As it turned out, it looked like a lot more snow than was actually out there. It was only about 4" I guess a little more once in a while won't kill me. My back usually doesn't feel so great lately anyways, and it was nice enough outside to take it slow and stop every couple of shovels or so. If I listened to my body, I'd probably just never get out of bed LOL |
